"After receiving some very heartfelt communications regarding our
seasonal beer named Hangin’
Frank, Short’s has decided to rebrand this beer for next year. The
rebranding will involve coming up with a new name and new artwork for
this much loved beer. For anyone wondering why we have a beer called
“Hangin’ Frank” in the first place, it involves the legend and folklore
of the City Park Grill in Petoskey, which is the restaurant that
inspired this particular beer. We regret any pain that this beer name
and artwork has caused, and appreciate your understanding!"

"It is said that the ghost of Frank Fochtman, former owner of the City
Park Grill in Petoskey, haunts the establishment today. Manager Jason
Septic said it is rumored that Fochtman hung himself in the basement,
when it was named Grill Cafe. ”I know many people who’ve just had a
weird sensation or feeling that there’s someone else down there,” he
said, adding that his hair has stood up on the back of his neck on
occasion when down in the basement."

Despite being blamed for some broken glasses the ghost, referred to as Frank by the restaurant's staff, does not "seem to have a
mean or negative presence."
